Note: I use tarragon because I have that lovely herb growing in my kitchen and I enjoy it freshly snipped, but the sandwich is also good with lemon thyme, chives, rosemary or whatever other herbs you fancy with your asparagus.

I think the mispronunciation of sandwich as samwidge has become so common that I have noticed people laughing at me when I pronounce it half-correctly (sandwidge). Then again, as Greenwich is usually pronounced with the ending "-dge", is "sandwidge" such a bad pronunciation? Is is critical that it is pronounced as it is spelled?
